What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Hobart accommodation and driven to St Helens, where you're based for two nights. Each day revolves around light: early starts for sunrise shoots at the coast, daytime sessions exploring rainforest, waterfalls and wildlife, then evening setups for sunsets and (weather permitting) night sky work. The guide leads you to locations and coaches on composition, exposure and technique suited to the conditions you find. Breakfast is provided each morning; other meals and drinks are your own cost. If weather closes in entirely, the group shifts to post-processing instruction indoors. Transport between locations happens by private vehicle with the guide.

Good to know
This suits photographers wanting hands-on field coaching in a stunning location without having to plan logistics themselves — the guide handles locations, timing and light. You'll need reasonable fitness for walking to shooting spots and standing for extended periods; the operator notes cardiovascular health should be solid. Weather is unpredictable; bring layers and rain gear. The workshop runs in all conditions but poor light may limit certain shots. Minimum 2 people required to run. Alcohol isn't included (available to purchase locally), nor are mid-day snacks or non-alcoholic drinks beyond breakfast. Group size isn't specified but expect an intimate, guide-led setup. Book well ahead for peak seasons.
